Dreams To Reality: Dwyane Wade Gets Real on A’ja Wilson’s MVP, Big 3 Heat Legacy & Class of 2025 Hall of Fame
Podcast:WY Network by Dwyane Wade Published On: Wed Sep 24 2025 Description: In this episode of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade and Bob link back up after the summer to swap stories and talk hoops. Dwyane shares memories of his first AAU trip with the Illinois Warriors, flying for the first time and learning from a young Darius Miles on how to handle the spotlight. They dive into his recent Hall of Fame weekend—from honoring Kobe with the Redeem Team, to presenting Carmelo Anthony alongside Allen Iverson, and standing on stage for Miami Heat owner Micky Arison. Off the court, Dwyane opens up about landing his own fragrance campaign with Aramis—something he dreamed of in his 20s but is now enjoying at 43. The guys also give flowers to A’ja Wilson for her fourth MVP and to Paige Bueckers for a standout rookie season, while praising Bam Adebayo’s role in Wilson’s story as “a hooper’s dream.” The episode closes with Dwyane breaking down what it really takes to win a championship—how it’s about covering weaknesses, surviving the dark hours, and why winning is “not for everybody.” Music Credit: Khari Mateen.
